BUT if you insist. Each lick takes approximately .17 mm off of each tootsie pop. After measuring a tootsie pop we see that the approximate measurements are 5.13 cm. If we convert cm to mm we see that 5.13 cm becomes 51.3mm. 51.3mm divided by .17 comes out to: 301.7647 licks. This is to finish the entire pop, assuming it is all candy coding. In the case of the tootsie pop, it is not. So we must now calculate the area within the pop itself.

The decimal .7647 is very important. If one goes licks over .7647 of a lick, he or she will be licking air. Please keep this in mind before we continue onto the next calculation.
